A father-of-three has been charged with attempted murder after he ran over a gun-wielding teenager who stole a pair of sneakers from him, ripping the younger\'s arm off.\n\nPhillip Pierre, 39, had arranged to meet Zachary Sam, 17, in Brooklyn, New York, at around 12.30pm on Friday in order to buy a $190 pair of Air Jordan 8 sneakers he advertised on Craigslist.\nBut when he arrived police say Sam climbed into Pierre\'s Honda Pilot, pulled out a revolver and took the sneakers before attempting to walk away.\n\nCCTV of the incident shows Pierre made a U-turn and driving headlong at Sam as he was on the sidewalk, pulling him under the wheels and slamming him into a metal fence, tearing part of his right arm off.Despite his severe injuries, Sam can be seen squirming out from under the car and struggling with Pierre and several bystanders before fleeing up the street.\n\nSam left his hand behind at the scene, along with the gun, and footage shows his sleeve flapping loosely in the wind as he runs.According to earlier reports, the boy managed to climb on to a bus further down the street, stunning passengers with his heavily bleeding arm.\nThe driver is reported to have stopped the bus, allowing Pierre to catch up who then held Sam until the police and ambulance arrived.
